President Joe Biden said on Friday he is 'very confident' in Dr. Anthony Fauci after his top medical adviser came under fire for comments about the coronavirus pandemic revealed in a series of emails. 'Yes I'm very confident in Dr. Fauci,' he said. 'The president and the administration feel that Dr. Fauci has played an incredible role in getting the pandemic under control,' she said. 'Please handle,' Fauci wrote to a colleague as he forwarded the message. 'Masks are really for infected people to prevent them from spreading infection to people who are not infected rather than protecting uninfected people from acquiring infection,' Fauci wrote.
